Cuatro Islas
About
Four islands, one epic island-hopping day! Cuatro Islas is a protected landscape and seascape off western Leyte: Digyo, Apid and Mahaba belong to Inopacan, while Himokilan belongs to Hindang. Digyo is the crowd favorite, with white sand, turquoise water and coral reefs for snorkeling. Apid has a photogenic floating hut and a working fishing village. Hop across by pumpboat from Inopacan, pack lunch and water, and stay for a slow afternoon in the shade. The islands were the lone Visayas finalist in the 2025 Para El MAR Awards for well-managed marine protected areas, so don't step on corals and bring your trash back to the mainland.
